The whole story is built around the big twist about how Sam lied about breaking out of prison, and was really working for Rafe the whole time but what was even the purpose of saying that? The three of them were originally planning on working together and splitting the treasure evenly from the start, so why bother lying about it? It literally only made things much harder and more dangerous for everyone involved
The basic premise of this game doesn’t make sense

Neil Cuckmann fired Hennig, the only reason the Uncharted games even had a story
Ethan Bell
Druckmann didn't work on 3, and that one had by far he most nonsensical story.
Jaxson Thompson
Series fatigue? Maybe trying to capitalize on 2's success made it seem like it had to try way harder to be better than 2 instead of doing something new and different
Easton Bailey
Nate didn't like Rafe's crazy tendencies, and Sam didn't think Rafe deserved the treasure. They essentially were using Rafe's money to help them find the treasure themselves, and knowing Nate, they probably would've tried to scam Rafe. Canonically Nate is a horrible partner except to a select few people, like Sully.

Only 2 of the 4 main games were not rushed, it's sad. 1 & 2 weren't, and 3 & 4 were. It honestly shows, too.
Chase Brooks
I guess you could argue that Nathan never would have agreed to go if he didn’t believe Sam’s life was in danger, but why did he even have to? Couldn’t he just have phoned in on the radio or offered to do research? I’m sure he would have for his long lost brother. And even if that was too much, okay THEN go ahead and lie, but why make Rafe the bad guy and have him trying to MURDER them at every turn? Just make part of your lie something like “So I have three months to get the treasure, and I really can’t do it without you- oh yeah, and Rafe’s back in” There was just never any reason for that and it drove me insane because it made every step of the process harder than it needed to be
Aiden Reyes
Nigger what? 4 clearly had the worst and most nonsensical story out of them with the lack of supernatural elements
Are you fucking telling me that Libertalia, an island full of riches and gold and amazing architecture was somehow kept a secret from the rest of the world for hundreds of years despite the place being easily seen by air??? Isn't that how Elena figures out where Drake is? Even more unrealistic is the nigress beating up two grown men in hand to hand combat
Leo Turner
It really didn't feel like a good vs evil thing here. There was Rafe,who had money, and wanted to find the treasure. And then there were Sam and Nathan, the con-artists who couldn't deal with this.
Justin Campbell
But that’s not the case, Rafe was in from the start. At no point was he ever “out”. From his point of view, why is he even bothering to bid on the crucifix at all? Why does he hire a fucking small army of mercenaries to hunt down the people he sent to look for the treasure he wants? His motivations and choices make 0 sense
